I had my assessment today. Was with a paramedic, he appeared friendly so its difficult to judge. He said that the DWP wanted to clarify a few things is this a normal thing to say?
He didn't ask me about taking nurtion but i had said that i don't cook a meal from fresh, i don't even have a cooker would this have been why he didn't ask about nurtion. I didn't get to say about washing my back although thats on my form.
I also said i had a degree but didn't say that was over 30 years ago. Will this go against me.
I wasn't asked any question about planning a journey but did say i use the bus in quite times. Would this go against me. I also said i can walk 4 and half minutes. I was as honest as possible
All in all i am not confident, any advice please.
Its all such a worry i don't know if I'm coming or going at the moment.
Thank for any advice

Until a Decision is made I can't really offer any advice, you should be able to request a copy of the assessment report later in the week by contacting the DWP office dealing with your claim.

i have bipolar and fibromaylia the explanation about not having a conventional cooker was because of accidents on the hob due to poor concentration. I don't cook due to having little motivation and fatigue which was put on my form and discussed in the assessment.

I appreciate you can't answer, I'm just in a bit of a tizz with it all, i am very thankful to you Gordon your kindness is very much appreciated
